\nBroadway, one week after 9\/11 (4×5 film) — \u00a9 Brian Rose<\/p>\n

The three books I have published in the past seven years comprise a New York trilogy — the city seen\u00a0and explored over an extended period of time. Taken together they form a portrait of New York, especially lower Manhattan, during a period of extreme transformation. I hesitate to say “unprecedented” because change is integral to the nature of New York going all the way back to the first Dutch settlers.<\/p>\n

The story told in these books relates to past photographic projects even to the way in which Marville and Atget documented Paris during the remaking of the city under Haussmann. I was familiar with all of that history when I began photographing the Lower East Side in 1980. At the same time, I was influenced by contemporary strains of street, architectural, and landscape photography. Color was an exceptionally new thing when I started this work in the 1970s, Today, it is the default photographic medium. As I was exploring New York with my camera, I was also discovering color’s descriptive nature, and its capacity to reveal as well as obscure.<\/p>\n

These books also form a personal narrative, and I have kept my voice present throughout the text accompanying the photographs. I was 23 when the first images were made, and 62 when the most recent were done. At the center of this trilogy — though not seen directly — the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists on September 11, 2001. That wrenching event propelled the city forward, inexplicably, as a complex barely understood motive — and simultaneously, propelled the nation backward, convulsively, to the present moment of political crisis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Time and Space on the Lower East Side<\/strong> is a portrait of place, one of America’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods seen over a span of 30 years.<\/p>\n

The trade edition of this book is, unfortunately, sold out, though used copies can be found on the internet.<\/p>\n

The limited edition is still available — signed books in a slipcover with an 8×10 inch print inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Metamorphosis. Meatpacking District 1985 + 2013<\/strong> is before\/after view showing rthe dramatic transformation of the former meat market of New York City. Rose spent several days in 1985\u00a0photographing the neighborhood with a 4×5 view camera. The negatives remained in a box unseen for over three decades. Rediscovered a few years ago, the images portray the streets and architecture of New York, stunningly empty, but vividly real.<\/p>\n

There are only 150 copies of this book still available.

\"\"<\/a>WTC<\/strong> is a visual history of the Twin Towers and the rebuilding of the city after 9\/11. It serves as both historical record and personal story going all the way back to 1977 when the Trade Center was only a few years old and Rose was a newcomer to the city.<\/p>\n

WTC pivots off of 9\/11 with a series of images made directly after the destruction of the Towers, and moves forward to the ascendance of One World Trade Center on the skyline.<\/p>\n
